Title: The Dicta of Magic

Author: Aalia

Dormant Magic does not have good ears. The power of the ether must be drawn forth with a bard's command of voice and inflection. It is mere Child's play to memorize theese words. Young Arduin, my apprentice, learned the names of the Dicta before the completion of his chores on his first day in my care. But he has yet to master them, for to invest them with the proper charge requires a full breath, a resonant tone and a mind clear of distractions. A bright boy, Arduin has discovered that a projection of theese tones through his mind's eye as a flame to ignite the spell produces a finer result. He and I practice the sounds of magic each morning, while Grimwar is, alas, of teasing the pigs.
